Oncological and endoprosthetic outcomes of bone sarcoma patients: a nationwide cohort study.
Observational study in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo retrospectively analyze the entire cohort of patients in the Republic of Slovenia diagnosed with bone sarcomas in the long bones or pelvis/sacrum/coccyx from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018, with an observational nationwide study, whereby all patients were evaluated by one single tumor board in the country. We evaluated surgical outcomes and tested whether survival of bone sarcoma patients depended on age, gender, histological diagnosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsCancer Registry of the Republic of Slovenia was screened for all ICD-10 diagnoses from C40.0 to C40.9 and C41.4 in the designated time frame, and the patients were then clinically followed up until the end of the observation period on June 1, 2019.
resultsThe cohort of 160 patients was treated surgically in 141 cases, 29 patients required subsequent revision(s) and cumulative endoprosthetic infection rate was 12.5%. In the follow-up, 54 patients died and the 2 patients were missing. Cumulative proportion of survival at 5/10 years was 61%/54%, respectively. After adjustment for age, gender and diagnosis, higher age (odds ratio 1.06 for each additional year), osteosarcoma (odds ratio 4.07) and Ewing sarcoma (odds ratio 11.68) were the significant risk factors of shorter oncological survival.
conclusionThis is the first Slovenian nationwide cohort study of bone sarcoma patients, unique in its circumscribed geographic area and evaluation/treatment at a single center by a single tumor board. Although comparable to other countries, results show a grim picture and the lack of improvement in bone sarcoma survival within the last 20 years.
